  1. But we have far too many pigs and chickens on earth. Livestock numbers need to drastically decrease.

  2.  @andrejkumer  Correct, but there is not enough waste to feed all livestock. And of course there are plenty of other downsides of super high livestock numbers.

  3.  @antonyjh1234  Not true. A vegan diet is the most efficient way of using food as you don't need to feed animals first.

  4.  @antonyjh1234  Nope, that is not how it works. Livestock does not mainly eat grass. Massive amounts of land are used solely for corn and soy production for animal feed. Animal fertilizer is not required to successfully produce crops. Look up vegan organic agriculture. But even if synthetic fertilizer is used, the vegan scenario is still far more favorable. I repeat: if everybody would go vegan, the world would require LESS arable land.
